The style is witty and pungent, and the scholarship, solid and impressive. -- John B. Dunlop, Stanford University\u003cbr\u003eHerman Ermolaev's new book is an excellent contribution to this [Soviet censorship] literature and will be of interest to scholars, students, and general readers. * Slavic Review *\u003cbr\u003eA revealing and detailed historical overview . . . * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eA systematic history of Soviet Russian literature is still waiting to be written.  However, when it does appear, Herman Emolaev's study of Soviet (Russian) censorship will be a key companion to it.  He has produced a detailed overview of this complex phenomenon, added to it a range of important examples, and documented it all very capably.  The result is a readable and usable guide to a very nasty business. -- Allan Reid * The International Fiction Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCensorship in 1917-1931 - birth and maturation; censorship in 1932-1945 - intensification; censorship in 1946-1953 - the peak; censorship in 1953-1964 - the unstable thaw; censorship in 1965-1984 - the freeze; censorship in 1985-1991 - melting.","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038806704471,"sku":"9780847683222","price":43.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780847683222.jpg?v=1750941511","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/censorship-in-soviet-literature-19171991-9780847683222","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
